I am sleepy. That’s sort of a first. But it’s because I got to bed around 12 typically, sometimes a tad later, and get up either at 8:45 on days I have class in the morning, or 10:45 on days I don’t and am going to the gym or yoga. It’s enough sleep, but it renders me just a tiny bit sleepy. That’s why when I’m done with this, I’m going to bed, as much as I’d love to read some of the 6th Harry Potter.
So, color today was fine, we had a lab day. But apparently I didn’t quite have that color stuff down yet, which makes sense considering how little I’ve done. But my teacher helped me with a new print I did today, and oh man she knew exactly what to do and I would have had no idea, but all of a sudden the colors looked so good! It was crazy. So our homework this week is to print 3 final prints from our first pictures, the ones we’ve already been working on, and then take a roll of film and print 3 final prints from that. The assignment for the roll is to concentrate on a color, mine is cyan. Cyan lighting, cyan objects, whatever cyan. It should be neat to see because we all have a different color! So it’s looking like I’ll have a weekly trip to Manhattan to get my film developed. Oh, and new rant about color (not the darkroom situation anymore) but the fact that we use so much paper! I think I already wrote about that, so I wont repeat myself, but basically, I’m already out, and that stuff is not cheep. So on this next trip to get my film developed, I have to pick up more paper, which I should have done last Friday but decided against unfortunately. Oh well, walking exercise.
So I forgot to tell you about printing yesterday. It went fine, I was done in about 3 and a half hours, I had nothing to worry about, I worried too much. And the darkrooms are open until midnight. Oops. Oh well. I made my contact sheets and 3 prints, which still need some color corrections and time correction, but I think I’ll just do those three from the critique next week, unless I find another that I think I should bother starting from scratch with. Yeah. So it went fine, I got the hang of it pretty quickly, those I still have plenty of getting used to it to do to get those colors right.
Then I had world civ. which was sleepy, but I managed to stay awake and take notes okay. Nothing special to talk about there. Michele has a quiz for her class, but I don’t for mine, we’re just going to get an essay, which I’m confused about because it’s the same class and I don’t know why he’d do different things. But whatever. She had me go over the notes with her for her confusing-as-to-why quiz.
After class, I went with Adrianne to get fabrics and t-shirts for silk screening at a dollar store (awesome!), some groceries, and wood for 3-D, so I am SET with all of that. I still need to come up with my 3-D project idea, which is to create a hanging wood piece that will display the projects we’ve done so far. I guess I’ll have to do that tomorrow (don’t have much choice considering I have the class Wednesday, do I?) Yup. I didn’t print anything new for black and white, which means I’ll have another not-so-hot critique tomorrow, but I don’t really care, that’s fine. I did a lot of printing last week so I didn’t have to do any this week. I might print tomorrow night after I get the 3-D stuff done. Probably will.
Michele’s dinner party was YUM! But I’d already eaten (due to lack of self-control) so I barley had anything. But she gave me some leftovers, meatballs and chicken. The meatballs are some of the best meatballs ever! I love meatballs in general, but these were sweet or something, really good! It was fun to just chill for a bit. Met a nice girl names Sara who Michele knew from being on orientation staff, she was fun.
Anyway, that was a bit of a boring post. Not much new since yesterday, I guess. So, as I said, I’m sleepy. I hope this week is good for me and for you :)
Oh yeah, and I forgot to day, I got a package from Grama today! Apples GALORE and my favorite trail mix and popcorn and dried cranberries awesome-looking pasta I think it was. THANK YOU SO MUCH I really appreciate it and I’m really excited! I already had apples, so I can eat an apple a day for THREE WEEKS before I have to go get more, which to me, is perfectly excellent :D
